[--verbose]  [--quiet]  [--ui]

🚩 Flags:

  • -p — output values as percentages. like, percent-coded, literally. 💯

r.colors.out lets u export the color table for a raster map out to a file that's suitable as input to r.colors. so basically she's the plug 💖, she hands the color table off in a format that r.colors will happily gobble right up. round trip realness. no cap.

r.colors.out map=el_D782_6m rules=rules.txt
r.colors map=el_D783_6m rules=rules.txt
